WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

[UFCMPunk]

Bloodline Bounty Hunter Drew McIntyre has so much intrigue, it needs to end with Drew vs Roman, Clash at The Castle 3 back at the same location as the first Clash at The Castle, but with Drew winning.

I wonder if McIntyre will ever get his "happy ever after" or not?

He doesn't get to walk out of WM with the title or leave Scotland with the title, what would be a satisfying ending for Drew?

****.

This is terrible news. The shows have been markedly better at 2 hours.

I could see the McIntyre stuff setting up a WM feud with Drew and Solo.

McIntyre said he doesn't like Solo (another great part of storytelling where he hates Solo for that 1 specific moment over 2 years ago) but wants Solo to beat Roman Reigns to finish him once and for all, and then Drew will go after Solo.

But I see Roman winning on Raw which sets off Drew even more as Solo failed him and allowed Reigns to come back in to power.

That sets up their feud which eventually brings in Gallus on Drews side to even the odds against the Bloodline.

Not just that, but 2 hours commercial free is about the same amount of show as a 3 hour with ad show is.

3 hours ad free will feel like watching a 4 hour show.

You know you messed up bad when even Dominik Mysterio doesn't approve of the heel move you did. Speaking of which, even Kofis mom turned on him!? We need someone to speak to Woods too. You know what that means....somebody call his mama!

The Priest Raiders sound like a cool team name if they go that route.

That promo that aired..that has to be for Pentagon? A crossed out 0 with a pentagram behind it, it has to be him.

Never noticed this but apparently Lee Fittings name wasn't shown at the end of Raw last night.

There have been reports about why exactly he got fired from ESPN and if those reports are true, I could see WWE possibly going a different route with him too (someone didn't do a full background check when hiring).

He's done a great job since taking over, not that it was a high bar Kevin Dunn ever set. But if those reports are true about him, I don't see WWE wanting to keep him around since they obviously have tried distancing themselves from any sort of controversial figures. Or at the very least, they just won't publicly promote him as an executive producer for PR sake, but would still keep him on board.

Pretty sure Raw hasn’t had producer credits, just Smackdown and NXT. Maybe that changes for Netflix though.
